I got an 1990 r32 gtr, was wandering if it was possible to know what engine my car was from..side of the block says 24U..so i assume its an N1 motor.r32?r33?.r34?

..and one thing that has me stumped is looking at the engine number ,in between RB26 and serial number there is a little R stamped. Everyone i spoke to has never seen it or heard of it... looks like this :

RB26

--------------R

060643A

without the slashes..

I also took the rocker cover off and noticed that the head bolt has a little dot on the rim of the hexbolt..all the ones ive seen are smooth.

thanks guys.

dude! that would have to be one of the bluriest pictures I've ever looked at!

I'm pretty sure the R is on all N1 blocks. the GT blocks have RRR. Though someone with more block knowledge that me can confirm it.

sorry about the photo, camera was really crap and too close to focus. il get some better photos up.

Ive looked at 5 n1 blocks, but they dont have a serial number on block. Was told if you order a block new from nissan,it has no serial number and the ones i looked at has no "R". So i assume its a factory N1 engine but out of what??32,33,34?

Is there a way to tell with the serial number?

thanks.

have you nissfast the number it may give a little more insight?

i didnt know you could check engine numers with fast..hmm..i could post the vin ad model number but im pretty sure the motor is not the original. This car is a bit funny, had a factory exhaust on ( brand new). high pressure intercooler hose clamps, huge alloy radiator with built in oil cooler,front subframe is all drilled out ,high boost setting on the hks evc was at 1.5bar?!? and when the car arrived from japan the clutch was completely destroyed..nismo twin plate. So it just raises suspicions to what it had in japan or what the capabilities of this motor is.

somebody must of seen this " R" before..no one in nz has... = ( , and not one reply from the gtroc forum. Its one of those things that annoy you until you can find the answer...= ).

SOUNDS PRETTY COOL. but its just a block. if your not making over 700hp it really doesnt matte.

being 06...... engine number id say its a 33. a early one.

Finally were getting somewhere..thank you! So an r33 motor.. Spoke to someone today and he told me hes only ever seen that head bolt on r34 motors...so hmm..

I got a street r32 that i ve done evrything to , except motor wise, so was thinking if this motor was up to spec, might swap it over..

700 hp at crank is the goal running 2530's. more than enough for me for the street. Trying to save money where i can for my drag car.should run this season. That car runs twin 3540's ,motec 800,adl pretty much everything under the sun. 1200hp and mid to low 8 is the goal..should post some pictures..not blurry ones..haha. = )

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
